Nautilus doesn't open my bookmarks

Asked by Anders Sjölander

When I try to open my bookmarks and other folders from the Places menu in the Ubuntu desktop, nothing happens; Nautilus simply doesn't open. It did work for a while yesterday, right after I updated Ubuntu to Intrepid Ibex, but it seemed Nautilus actually ran as root, displaying root's home folder and bookmarks.
When I run Nautilus from a terminal, it works fine. I don't know how to produce any debug information since the problem only occurs when running Nautilus from the Places menu.

Using Ubuntu 8.10 (swedish; sv_SE), Nautilus 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu1.

Please open nautilus from command line or by pressing on a desktop without other opened window ALT+F2 keyboard keys and write into opened window nautilus.

Nautilus come in front of you select a directory on the right nautilus frame and right click with mouse a drop down menu come in front of you go to the end of this menu and select:
Properties - click on "Open with" tab
Select "Open Folder" application if it is already into list
If you don't have "Open Folder" listed please press the "+ Add" button and Select "Open folder" from the opened list of applications.
Then be sure "Open Folder" is selected

Hope this helps
